[pct-l] Help with PCT Changes in Washington

[Bob Bankhead]

That entire section of land - including the weather station - is for sale.

It sits on an all-weather road and has electricity, but its only water source (a well) is in the adjoining section which is owned by the USFS. That's a deal-breaker unless you could work out a land trade at the time of, and as part of, the purchase.

Asking price, $980,000

  B. Who has used Stampede Pass weather station for water recently? How  did 
  it go? Friendly? (Section I, page Map i13).

  I stopped at the weather station in late August 2006, finding it quite 
  deserted and boarded up, but the water is still on and available. In it's 
  day, this station must have been a great place to work and live. There is 
  quite a bit of landscaping and rock work around the houses and buildings. 
  The original obsolete old weather instrument station is still there, and the 
  new automated station appears to be operating.  There is an unusuable faucet 
  on the front western door, and the usuable one is around the back side to 
  the left of the same house. I marked the front one with pencil, "water in 
  back of house".. Here's some photos of the place for anyone curious....Eric 
  Ryback even writes about his visit to the station on his 1970 PCT hike in 
  his book "The High Adventure of ER".
